Topic: Consider the soul first (Read 43751 times)

The soul only has a definite position and definition per paradigm you are educated in. I view the soul and spirit as different. The soul being my Over-Self, the aspect of awareness that I cannot explain, the aspect that creates magical influences via unseen and scientifically misunderstood/not yet discovered means. Some call it fate, fortune, luck, god, goddess, chaos, etc. My spirit on the other hand, going back to its root meaning, is just the power of my breath and electromagnetic fields, what I have come to know as 'qi' from the Chinese Martial, Medical, and Spiritual traditions.

The full body tingling sensation is a biochemical reaction of deep states. Feeling your spirit in your solar plexus or brain stem, or wherever, is just the same, your biochemical and natural elecrromagnetic force surging through and around your body. The spirit can be measured, for the most part, but the soul is pure awareness. At least that is my perception and experience.

"Spirit is in a state of grace forever.Your reality is only spirit.Therefore you are in a state of grace forever."

"As relfections of the Source, we are little gods."

So in the end one can't simply measure something called 'soul'? Well, it's understandable since after all, the soul is our very essence; one can't even hope to comprehend it's vastness and complexity. In the end all I can do is explore. Explore and discover, and perhaps I will find the truth behind it all, gain some knowledge.

Yeah, that's at least the way I see it. Instead of some higher, abstract god force, I think of each of our souls as that aspect of original essence and ever creative and evolving power. It's only been the last couple months I have really internalized the concept, but beasically, thensoul cannot be measured because it is interdimensional. Beyond words, concepts, space-time, and extraterrestrial ideals.

Inspect your entire physical body before meditation. Pretend to move your hand and toes. Focus on your breathing and stretch and hold them as you focus on your breathing. Any form of burn, tingle, or discomfort can be blown away with a good controlled breath. Once you can feel the flow of breath activate the infinite amount of sensory organs in locations of your body, you can telepathically speak to your self in regards to where that energy will flow.(see chakras/psychic heat breathing techniques)

After you find your own personal flow realize this energy first as cosmic energy, once you fill your self with this is when you can feel great change occur. I personally use mana as my source of psi/alteration of my physical self to project it to alter physical surroundings. Primarly I harness air to power my mana force and begin to blow winds.

Thru yoga and strict breathing techqniques I have located the art of forming muscle and shifting all toxins to my core/ burning them and releasing a gas at will that brings bliss to my entire body. Also filter feeding the energies to form nutrition and a feeling of fullness I have been eating less and less while maintaining my weight and gaining muscle.

When your eyes are open its the physicalWhen your eyes are closed its the etheralIf you act the part reality will chase youBe the being you wish and the choices will tighten the knot of thought to become your new conscious state.

I'm wondering how did you come to the conclusion that the "soul is not matter or energy" and it doesn't need energy at all.

Maybe we define terms "soul" and "energy" differently, but in magic it is viewed all things are just alterations of a homogene substance called the Aither (even matter and the soul), and the Aither is very much like an energy in my eyes.
